11 Jan: NBC: ‘Online and vulnerable’: Experts find nearly three dozen U.S. voting systems connected to internet
A team of election security experts used a “Google for servers” to challenge claims that voting machines do not connect to the internet and found some did.
By Kevin Monahan, Cynthia McFadden and Didi Martinez
It was an assurance designed to bolster public confidence in the way America votes: Voting machines “are not connected to the internet.”
Then Acting Undersecretary for Cybersecurity and Communications at the Department of Homeland Security Jeanette Manfra said those words in 2017, testifying before Congress while she was responsible for the security of the nation’s voting system.
So many government officials like Manfra have said the same thing over the last few years that it is commonly accepted as gospel by most Americans.
While the voting machines themselves are not designed to be online, the larger voting systems in many states end up there, putting the voting process at risk...
“We found over 35 [voting systems] had been left online and we’re still continuing to find more,” Kevin Skoglund, a senior technical advisor at the election security advocacy group National Election Defense Coalition, told NBC News...
***The three largest voting manufacturing companies — Election Systems &Software, Dominion Voting Systems and Hart InterCivic — have acknowledged they all put modems in some of their tabulators and scanners. The reason? So that unofficial election results can more quickly be relayed to the public. Those modems connect to cell phone networks, which, in turn, are connected to the internet...

4 Nov: Politico: Georgia election official: Machine glitch caused by last-minute ***vendor upload
by Kim Zetter; Eric Geller contributed to this report.
A technology glitch that halted voting in two Georgia counties on Tuesday morning was caused by a ***vendor uploading an update to their election machines the night before, a county election supervisor said.
Voters were unable to cast machine ballots for a couple of hours in Morgan and Spalding counties after the electronic devices crashed, state officials said. In response to the delays, Superior Court Judge W. Fletcher Sams extended voting until 11 p.m.
The counties use voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems and electronic poll books — used to sign in voters — made by KnowInk.
The companies “uploaded something last night, which is not normal, and it caused a glitch,” said Marcia Ridley, elections supervisor at Spalding County Board of Election. That glitch prevented pollworkers from using the pollbooks to program smart cards that the voters insert into the voting machines.
Ridley said that a representative from the two companies called her after poll workers began having problems with the equipment Tuesday morning and said the problem was due to an upload to the machines by one of their technicians overnight.
***“That is something that they don’t ever do. I’ve never seen them update anything the day before the election,” Ridley said. Ridley said ***she did not know what the upload contained.
***Gabriel Sterling, voting system implementation manager in the secretary of state’s office, told reporters that the issue likely was a dataset that got uploaded to the systems, but that they don’t know for certain. He did not say if the dataset was uploaded by the voting machine vendor.
Sterling told reporters the issue took some time to fix because technicians had to bring in additional equipment to correct the problem.
***Neither Dominion nor KnowInk responded to a request to comment. A spokesperson for the secretary of state’s office also did not respond to follow-up questions about who uploaded the dataset and whether it had been reviewed and tested by anyone beforehand...

Wikipedia is not the arbiter of what is or is not “fake”.
Here is another audio of a guy who was with Senator Colbeck that night. Randy Bishop. I know the good senator very well and he is a man of integrity. What he tells you you can take to the bank as factual. I have also spoken to two other people backing up exactly what the senator saw that evening and that they witnessed as well.
https://youtu.be/UP8hBheXemc
Bwahahahahaha. You are suggesting Wikipedia is an arbiter of truth? You are either the embodiment of the term dumb as a stump or an agent provocateur. Most probably the latter.
What is the BS from Gateway Pundit that you are complaining about?
Give me a break. Sidney Powell is re-tweeting GP’s tweets. Some of his stuff is questionable but his site is relentless in hammering this fraud.
He’s on our side. Questionable at times yes. Let’s quit eating our own. That includes here. We have enough enemies outside this forum.
Transcribed the affidavit:
The Affiant, Robert Cushman, being first duly sworn, hereby deposes and states as follows:
1. My name is Patrick J. Colbeck, I was a poll challenger for the November 3, 2020 election, and I am a resident of Wayne County.
2. At approximately 5:30pm on November 3, 2020, I asked Daniel Baxter if Tabulation Computers were connected to internet. Mr. Baxter said simply “No.”
3. At approximately 5:45pm on November 3, 2020, I first asked Chris Thomas how the tabulated results were to be transferred to the County and other parties. He said he didn’t know, but he would find out. I repeated this inquiry throughout the evening until Mr. Thomas responded that he would not be able to release that information until the end of the next day. Early during the morning, I was able to look at a copy of the Detroit Election manual which specified that the tabulated votes would be copied from the adjudicator computers to a series of flash drives.
4. At approximately 7:30pm on November 3, 2020, about 50% of Poll Workers left the AV Counting Board before 8pm in violation of MCL 168.792a(ll). An announcement was made by Detroit Election Officials at 7:45pm calling them back but most had already left the AV Counting Board area.
5. At approximately 11pm on November 3, 2020, I asked David Nathan if any of the computers were connected to the internet. He said “No.” When I asked for confirmation, he said “Trust me.” I stated that he may have been misled. When I pressed for a demonstration, he repeated “Trust me.” All it takes to confirm the connectivity status of a Windows computer is to roll the cursor over the LAN connection icon in the bottom right comer of the display. When there is no internet connection, a unique icon showing a cross-hatched globe appears. I proceeded to review the terminal screens for the Tabulator and Adjudicator computers and I observed the icon that indicates internet connection on each terminal. Other poll challengers can attest to this observation as required (e.g. Kristina Karamos and Randy Bishop).
6. Sometime during the evening I proceeded to examine the physical cabling connections between all of the computers in the facility. The results of this observation are captured in the attached network topology diagram. The IT technician stationed on the stage actively discouraged any close-up observation of the network. Phone usage ban discouraged taking photographs of equipment. There were no observed ethernet connections for Electronic Poll Books at AV Counting Boards, but Wi-Fi Routers were present with attached active Wi-Finetworks in area including one called “AV_Connect” and a separate one for “CPSStaff” which were both of sufficient signal strength to be accessed outside of the Counting Board as well as inside. I did not confirm presence of internet connection for Electronic Poll Books but the security incident at 10am on 11/3 would seem to indicate that they were connected to internet via Wi-Fi.
7. Further affiant says not.

On this 8th day of November, 2020, before me personally appeared Patrick J. Colbeck, who in my presence did execute the foregoing affidavit, and who, being duly sworn, deposes and states that he has read the foregoing affidavit by him subscribed and knows the contents thereof, and that the same is true of his own knowledge and belief, except as to those matters he states to be on information and belief, and as to those matters he believes them to be true. - Barbara A. Harrell [her signature] (Notary Public, Oakland County, Michigan)
Some people just wont believe it until CNN says so.
In the end there have to be physical ballots that get sealed in boxes that have to match the vote numbers that are touted in the virtual realm. The physical ballots have to match the precinct logs as to who voted in person and by absentee and who didn’t amongst those who are actually registered to vote in any given precinct. For instance the precinct logs may say there are 3000 voters in that one precinct but for that election the logs will tell you only 2400 voted either in person or by absentee or mail in. If you only find 2000 ballots that means the vote count is suspect...where are the missing ballots.
If the ballot count is 3500 and after checking for late registrations the official registrars voter population count is 3150 for the precinct then two questions arise. You have 350 ballots more than there are voters in the precinct;you have to eliminate the excess but how do you eliminate the fake vote numbers discerning who really voted for whom. You can examine the absentees/mail ins to seeif their name match up and if they showed up to in person vote as well. But I fear you won’t catch everything wrong in that vote stash
The second question becomes even more interesting...even having eliminated the excess votes you still have a situation where 100 percent of the precinct has voted(3150 out of 3150). The only way to check that is to check the visitor/voter logs vs the ballots received. Everyone who votes gets checked in either in person or who is recorded as having received a mail ballot by request and has sent that back in.If the logs don’t match the 100 percent then you have a vote anomaly.
Thus I think the only cure for the above is to have the votes in the above fictitious precinct disallowed. There are rarely 100 percents but when there are any vote counts above 100 percent of the recorded voter population the vote ballots in that precinct are spoiled and the precinct’s vote must be considered fraudulent.
I am a computer developer, a very senior one, in a tech lead position in the company I work for.
YOU DO NOT EVER LOAD AN UPDATE TO THE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT A DAY BEFORE A MAJOR EVENT! EVER!
Any company will have a tested and bulletproof platform established, vetted, tested a 1000 ways, and then you will have what we call an "Awareness Period" in which NO UPDATES ARE PERMITTED.
This is an obvious red-flag of machine fraud.
“YOU DO NOT EVER LOAD AN UPDATE TO THE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT A DAY BEFORE A MAJOR EVENT! EVER!”
Thanks for saying that. I have been telling folks that for the last week.
I work in aerospace software (over 30 years now), and it is illegal to install unapproved software in a non-experimental aircraft (and even experimental has strict rules),
No way this “last minute patch” BS is legit.
This is an obvious red-flag of machine fraud.
Amazing. Stockholm Syndrome.
There is a sworn affidavit from an aerospace engineer who is a State Senator.
There are diagrams and pics and video testimony.
Shut the F up. You are a troll.
Everyone ragging on GP: I have read all their stories and except for the one sloppy use of *called* wrt to RCP and PA, the accusations are unfounded. GP has backed up everything with affidavits/verbal testimony for fact experts and video/pics.
AZ and then PA were deducted from BiteMe’s total. There is a map out there labeling the contested/fraud states. Trump has 232 and BiteMe has 226. When PA and AZ are added to Trump, he’s at 263 and Alaska is 3 (not called because Trump won)for 266 and NC is a Trump win, just not called because it is Trump. IIRC, NC is 15 (?) for approximately 281. WI and MI will need to be audited....another 20 and I think it’s possible they are Trump wins. Nevada is fraud and they hold another 6.
A probable 307 win.
Suck it.
It is my understanding that voting machines are not connected to the Internet.
_____________
Not true. There is a shot of the LAN connections... at least two were open, live and strong enough to be accessed from outside the TCF center.
There are multiple affidavits (including here) that attest to internet connections all over the place. It is how they were enabling the updates and why they weren’t caught unless someone saw it in real time.
This is why US Army confiscated the servers in Germany (Barcelona?). Info overload, but the confiscation was reported.
This is an international operation. A recent Austrian election using this software was recently rerun due to fraud. Every election where Ds/Globalists *won* over God knows how many years and countries is suspect.
More GP BS!
Can someone please wake me when anything from GP comes to fruition?
______
Fraudulent affidavits (which are on the GP site)?
Fraudulent screen shots and diagrams and video testimony from an aerospace engineer who is a State Senator (at the site)?
THIS IS REAL.
In multiple places/states/precincts. Affidavits sworn. Fact experts testimony.
What is it with you people? You disregard stories backed with testimony and cite Wikipedia all in the same thread. (not you specifically, Kevin...I’m not going to go thru everyone’s posts to name them).
The anti-GP shit is just a bandwagon. Time to get off it.
Red China, George Soros, and the Silicon Valley are the three-headed snake behind all of this.
